-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2015-2893 2015-03-01 03:42:46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : gnupg Product : Fedora 21 Version : 1.4.19 Release : 1.fc21 URL : http://www.gnupg.org/ Summary : A GNU utility for secure communication and data storage Description : GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New upstream v1.4.19 - Use ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption [CVE-2014-3591] - Fixed data-dependent timing variations in modular exponentiation [related to CVE-2015-0837] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 27 2015 Brian C.
